Magichand:
Two persons have been intercepted carrying $2.8million cash at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.

The men were arrested by the officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Enugu Zone.

The suspects, identified as Ighoh Augustine and Ezekwe Emmanuel, claimed to be workers of Bankers Warehouse.

The EFCC said the two men concealed the cash in two suitcases, containing $1.4 million each.

According to a statement by the commission, they were arrested at the departure lounge of the airport on Thursday night while about to board an Arik Air flight to Lagos.

During interrogation, the suspects confessed that they have been in the business of conveying cash for “some notable banks”, for over six years and were in the process of doing same for Union Bank Plc, located at New Market, Onitsha, Anambra State, when they were caught.

The suspects further confessed that they had so far carried out such assignments, “four times this year”.

They will be charged to court soon, EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade said.

The other day it was a Lebanese that was intercepted at Abuja International Airport while flying from Malam Aminu Kano International Airport Kano.

It is quite unfortunate that huge amount of money is being transited illegally at a time there is massive hunger and poverty in Nigeria.

During the administration of Ex-President Jonathan the South African authority intercepted huge number of cash which the Jonathan led administration claimed was intended to procure arms to fight Boko Haram.

Why did Ex-President Jonathan not use central bank of Nigeria to do the deal with the south African authority on a government to government basis.

The south African government never refunded that money as it violates their anti money laundering laws.

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor of Word of Life Bible Church whose private jet was used for the laundering of the money was indicted by the Nigerian press and media houses.

It's called money laundering. You can't carry out cash transactions above a certain limit without going through a financial institution. It's illegal! Please endeavour to check your facts so you don't infect others with your ignorance.
Thanks!

Bankers Warehouse is a CIT company, if they're moving it officially, it's perfectly legal. Or can someone else educate me?

Laundering for a politician...



How can they claim that they are doing it for a bank. When did banks use persons to move their monies to Lagos?
I wonder o. The probability of banks using them to ferry dollars is highly negligible.
Most probably ferrying the money for polithiefcians

You open airport for them and they immediately start abusing it.
All that money should be forfeited and the bank appropriately sanctioned.

They were staff of Bankers Warehouse, caught on their way Out of Nigeria? No? On their way to Lagos, right? There seem to be NOTHING wrong with this as it has happened to me.

I remember my previous office/job while moving foreign currencies to our Head Office at Lagos with my Superior Officer, we were to board a flight at the same Akanu Ibiam Airport at Enugu ( this was when the airport was being renovated). I noticed a man was hovering around us and the next thing, he came and quietly sat beside me and showed me his ID that he works with the SSS.

He made inquiries about what we were carrying and to where and we told him. He asked if Our Bank was aware of this and we said yes however he demanded a confirmation from my Bank that they sent us.

My Superior detailed some of our branch staff to go to their office to confirm the genuineness of our movement and after this we were allowed to go. Lest I forget, he SSS guy was doing "Oga Sir"for us and we finally did some "shake bodying"

This practice of moving cash is not new and I dont see it as money laundry. Anyone with better information as to why it is money laundry?

Union Bank will NEVER engage in unlawful acts.

EFCC and this APC government is very useless.
they just want to use this guys to shine.
i just learnt that Bankers warehouse is registered entity that most banks use to move money by air as against using bullion vans.
now they have revealed these guys faces there by exposing them to kidnappers.i hope this guys sue their ass.

Thanks!

Have you endeavoured to educate yourself? If yes, then answer this...

Is carrying out cash transactions over a certain limit the same thing as HAVING CASH over a certain limit? Does any law prescribe a limit to the amount of cash you can HOLD? So if you see Davido with N100m in cash, will you arrest him, and if not, why not?

Is there anything in this report that suggests that these two gentlemen were carrying out a TRANSACTION? They were simply seen with cash. Now, for this to be money laundering, then it has to be established that the money was illegally acquired. The mere fact of holding that amount of cash isn't money laundering in itself!

So what exactly will the EFCC charge them to court for? Money laundering? How? You see how useless and incompetent our law enforcement agencies are? Wasting tax payers money on stupid cases.

Bros i suggest you Google our anti money laundering laws before you embarrass yourself further.
If you are caught or apprehended with money above a certain limit - Irrespective of the purpose of that money, for transactions or celebrations, whatever! You are in breach of the anti money laundering laws and you can be apprehended and prosecuted.
